To allie/tom it may concern: lf are connected the braces 1-ft all ot said parts Be it known that l, Frisk B. N1nsz,a citibeing securely connect-ed or bolted' together ze.y of the United States, residing at Canton, and to the reach S by means of the clani' ing in the county of Stark and State O1E Chio, bolts 1 5. have invented certain new and useful Ini- To the rear ends of t-he bars 13 is connectproveinents in Disk Hai-rows. ed the head 16v by means of suitable clamp- The object ot' the present invention to ingbolts and to the rear end of this head 16 provide Whatinight be teri'ned a gang disk is securelyattached the bar 17, which bar barrow, and a further object is to provide` is for the purpose of holding in proper a flexible connection between the tront and spaced relationship with each other the two reztrscts ot disks, so that the ground is not disk frames, which frames consistof the thrown up in ridges when turning corners parallel bars 18 and 19, which bars are held or when the hal-row moved out of a straight. lino., ileretofore in disk harrowsl of this kind the Ytraine carrying the front and rear sets oit' disks have been formed and d'iitieulty has been experienced in turning corners.

Having set forth the objects ot the invention I-will now proceed to describe the saine in detail, reference 'boing had to the accompanying` orawings making a part o1 this specification and to the numerals of referand the various bearing blocks 21 in which fbearing blocks are journaled the disk shafts 22A The disk frames are pivotally connected intermediate their ends and are so corr nected for the purpose of changing the angularity of the disk shafts 2Q Awith reference to' cachother and to the reach S or inore particularly With reference to the line of draft. l

A For the purpose ot providing proper pivotal connections or the disk trames proper the blocks 23 are provided, said blocks being provided with the' semi-circular `grooves 2t,

FigureA 1 is a plan view. Fig. 2 is' a perspective' view showing a portion ot one ot the rear trames, the reach and the rear end of the tongue together with the diil'erL ent parts pertaining to the coupling of the two rear gang franics together, showing said parte disconnected and in-relati ve alinement with each other.

Similar numerals ot' reference indicate corresponding parts in all the tig-ares of the drawing. {flicking-bolts 25.

In the accompanying drawing, 1 repre- For the purpose Ot' assisting in holding sents` the tongue, which is ot' the usual con- :the blocks 23 and the braces 14 in proper struction in harrows Ot' this, class and to relationship with reference to the bar 't7 which tongue is connected the usual braces the flanged caps 27 are provided, which 2 and the notched segments 23 and the levers flanged caps are seatedl upon the bars 17, 4, these parts are of the usual construction the blocks 23 and the braces 111, said cap and forni no specific part ot' the present inalso serving to provide suitable bearings for vention. The saine is truel of the barg, the the king-bolts 25. In order that a rigid bars 5 and their coiniections including the connection may be made as between the bar bearings (S and the links 7. y' 17 and the braces 11 clamping bolts 28 are To the rear end ot tile tongue 1 is pivotprovided7 `which clamping bolts are located 4ally attached the reach 8 by means of the through the bar 17, the blocks 23 and the apertured plate 9 and the coupling pin 10, braces 14. which coupling Apin is preferably formed To the head 1G are connected the spaced intevral with the reach 8 and `is held against. plates 29 and 30 by means of the bolt 31 displacement by means of the cotter 11 or its which spaced plates are for the purpose equivalent. To the rearend of the reach 8 of preventing any tilting of the disk frames are connected the flanged blocks 12 and to together with the different parts carried the anged blocks l2 are connected the spaced bars 13, and tothe spacedbars 13 pose of receiving portions of what might be termed the king-bolts 25, said king-bolts being 'held in proper relationship by means of the braces 14, which braces are provided 'with the curved flanges 26 said curved allel bars 18 and 1.9. The spacedzplates 29 in proper spaced relationship with refer-- ence to each other by means Ot the plates 2t).

which semi-circular `.grooves are for the pui` i lianges so located that they Will abut against thereby, said frames consisting oi. the paraad 3l) are located helou1 the head 1G and are..

securely olaulped by means or" the bolt 3l. For the purpose ol preventing any rocking movement of the plates and 30 the plate 20 is' also connected' tothe head'l by means of the li'a't head bolt $2. For the purpose o' holding the plates 2S and. 30 in'proper spared relationship ille spacing spacing blocks ille holt 3l is passed andalso 'die lolt C'l.

To the .reach S is attached the note'hed segment :3,3 and to said reaeh'is pivotally :utac-lied the 'lever 36 whielilever is eX- leuded downward below the reachA andto the lower end ol said lever are connected the links 3 7, said links being pivotally attached blocks or j 'luumles :23 are provuled, ythrough which lt will be understood that as the fiillereut angles willi reference to the fore ard disk 'Frames and the disks ny means of -rvhieli adjustment can he made for different kuuby and emula ions of soil. lt will alsobe understood that hy pivotally attaching the reach ai its forward end the reardisk frames will follow wiih 'ifreziter ease llie forward li-"1; annie.

j *fully desrribed my invention what l claim as neuY and desire to secure by Letter, i?"areu'7 is:

' in a disk barrow the combination of' a trom and rear disk vtranne, the rear disk um eonsistineI oit parallel bars journaled iiuermediale their ends and a connecting ltla'r. a head secured to 4said Connecting bar and spaced plaies secured to the head and means :tor rocking' the rear disk frames upon their pivotal points, substantially as and for the purpose speeied. e
